This is something that my mom has told me numerous times over the years. What it means is if you do something stupid, you'll always get hurt somehow. By "doing something stupid" it could be that you could forget to turn in a project, reach into an oven with no glove on, or even punching something. By forgetting to turn in a project, you won't get full credit. If you reach into an oven with no glove on, then you will get burned. When you punch something, such as a wall, then you will hurt your hand. If you're constantly making stupid mistakes, then you'll always get hurt. However, if you don't do stupid things, you won't nearly get hurt as often. So, just think the next time you're about to do something stupid; you will get hurt in some kind of way. Even if it seems very minor or unimportant, you will get hurt.

That reminds me of something I read somewhere.

You both have a point.
